This recipe comes from our great friend Alice Richardson, A.K.A. “Sistah A”. She made them for us one memorable Labor Day weekend and we’ve been hooked ever since. You’ll need a head start to allow time for the wings to marinate, but they are well worth the wait.

Put the chicken wings in one or more large resealable plastic freezer bags (or container of your choice) and cover chicken wings with plenty of cheap beer. Refrigerate the wings while they marinate in the beer — 8-24 hours.

Grill wings over medium-low heat, about 35 minutes, turning often to cook evenly. After the wings have cooked for about 35 minutes, or when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, brush generously with Trenholm Venom. Grill for 2-3 minutes more and then serve.

Party Tip – marinate and grill the chicken wings as above, but near the end of grilling, divide the wings into four portions. Then, brush one portion with Trenholm Venom, a portion with Molten Golden, a portion with Larynx Lava and a portion with Daily Red. You’ll have four platters of wings with completely different flavors and an appealing variety of spice levels for your guests. Something truly magical happens to the Larynx Lava hot sauce with this recipe. It caramelizes and makes some of the best chicken wings we’ve ever tasted.

After preparing crust, scald cream in a large, heavy saucepan and keep warm. In a large mixing bowl, blend blue or feta cheese with ¼ cup cream until smooth. Add half of the cream cheese and 1 cup cream and then blend until smooth. Beat in the rest of the cream cheese and heavy cream. Mix until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time and beat until smooth. Pour cheesecake batter into prepared pan. Drizzle Trenholm Venom over batter and lightly swirl through with a fork. Bake cheesecake in bottom third of oven for 1 ½ hours. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack before un-molding onto serving platter.

Serve with crackers.
* The stronger the cheese, the better the flavor.

Stir together and serve with pita chips, ginger snaps or crackers as an appetizer for crisp fall evenings. Stir in some sour cream or fresh whipped cream for a savory pumpkin mousse. Great for tailgating and holiday parties.

We’ve enjoyed this many a night with friends. Sometimes we make our special whole wheat sourdough pizza crust and other times we use whole wheat pita bread. This is a fun dinner party meal that can be scaled up or down, depending on the number of guests. Each guest can prepare a custom pizza with a choice of toppings. If there are children at the party, have a separate bowl of non-spicy pasta sauce for them.
Pass plenty of extra Daily Red at the table.

Combine the pasta sauce and 1/2 cup of Daily Red per jar of sauce. Prepare the toppings and arrange them so that guests can prepare their own pizzas. Brush pitas lightly with olive oil. Let guests create their custom pizzas and bake until cheese is bubbling.

Stir cream cheese and cheddar together. Add red bell pepper and hot sauce and mix thoroughly. Drop one teaspoon of cheese spread onto the middle of a wonton wrapper and fold over to form a triangle. Place the wonton on a baking sheet. Fill and fold the remaining wonton wrappers until you have used all of the cheese mixture. Brush wontons lightly with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Makes approximately 4 dozen wontons.

Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Mix cornmeal and seasoned salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge scallops in the cornmeal mixture and add to hot skillet, searing for approximately 3 minutes on each side until cornmeal crust is golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve with plenty of Larynx Lava. This dish can be served as an appetizer or an entrée.
